Olihan - that was the big manor house wasn't it? That was lovely and so nice that the locals were so encouraging.

Lyra, violin woman converted a disused violing factory in London. They were neighbours to one of the big London orchestras and were so inconsiderate, rude and unpleasant to them. Will try and find a link but she needed beating with a violin bow.

That's the one, MrsKM. I'd like to see a revisited on that. They still had the top two floors to go at the end of filming.

This place is amazing!

What's it called so we can plan a visit there if we win the Lotto!

expatinscotland · 27/02/2008 22:01

Girly, did you see the handbag excuse for a weekend bag Kev carried in there?

MrsKevinMcCloud · 27/02/2008 22:01

Olihan - maybe they still have two floors to do hence no revisited yet. Was a very good one, lovely house, worthwhile project, lovely people, no minimalist glass rubbish in sight!

Hassled · 27/02/2008 22:01

LyraSilvertongue · 27/02/2008 22:03

I want to go there but not sure if it looks that child friendly.
DP and I do love italy. Why we're holidaying in Spain this year I don't know.

LOL @ Lyra's 'not child friendly' . There speaks a mother!

LyraSilvertongue · 27/02/2008 22:04

Oh yes, Olihan, I remember now. They had terrible trouble with a big wall.

LyraSilvertongue · 27/02/2008 22:04

Gotta consider the little 'uns Olihan .

MrsKevinMcCloud · 27/02/2008 22:05

Olihan - Parts of chocolat were filmed in the village where I used to live. They were there for weeks. Nearly got run over by Judy Dench's limo while crossing the road with my fish and chips too. Blimen glad they missed me as they were lovely fish and chips and I was starving!! Never seen the film though, not my sort of thing really.

DaDaDa · 27/02/2008 22:05

I want to be like those people when I grow up. Wish I had half as much energy!

LyraSilvertongue · 27/02/2008 22:06

Mmmmm, Johnny Depp.

That's right. They nearly had to pull down the entire back wall because they used the wrong bricks. How they live there knowing their neighbours absolutely detest them I don't know.

MrsKevinMcCloud · 27/02/2008 22:07

Lyra, he is a good actor though. Not my 'type' at all (I'm sure he's not at all devestated about that though )

DualCycloneCod · 27/02/2008 22:08
